Revised Character Interview

I was going anywhere with my story. Because I wasn't going anywhere with my outline. Because I wasn't going anywhere with my characters. Because the task seemed too daunting. Now, a few months ago I revised my character interview sheet that I use. I was so excited, because there were so many questions, and I was so excited to get to know my character in that much depth. I started filling one out for my first character, Lark, and found the task to be boring, and long, and there was no end in sight. Now, I used most of the questions from the character interview sheet I got from K.M. Weiland. The one I used before that came from Gail Carson Levine. Today was the day I made one of my own. I used some inspiration from their questions, but ultimately, this is my own character interviews, with questions in which I can find the things I need from my characters, without the task seeming too daunting. I'll share it with you guys. :) Enjoy!
